Afternoon Dungeon.

>[] Leave the area. You cannot deal with the Pillar Man yet, you should look for someone that can help you with that, you remember someone talking about "sun" and "breathing back in Gijon.

Good day salt.
Writing~

After finishing gathering supplies, you decide that you´re not even close to ready to dealing with the Pillar Man- you must research a better way to kill them than just hoping he will follow you into the sunlight. You seem to remember a man in Gijon mentioning something related to "breathing" and "punching with sun" when you asked about what had happened in Altamira- perhaps you should start looking there.

>[] Head straight to Gijon, look for the man.

I hate how it's just a PC with high level gear, especially since it's like "Favored enemies: dragons and whatever", that shit drives me up the fucking wall

Geek & Sundry/Critical Role character for the win; I just got into that show and am on Episode 15. Heard Orion is leaving the show soon because "differences".

Too bad, he's one of the more entertaining players.

I wish there was a system for taking NPCs from dwarf fortress worls and just outputting with their skills as well as their "thoughts" like this, ignoring the first section and the final section for brevity (and also the likes and detests bit)

If I could play daily then 3-4 hours would be good but seeing as I can not get up to these numbers then I'd like something like 9 hours with a break every 3 or so hours.

Most possible? No, there is no limit to how far a human can disappear up their own arsehole. Is it the most pretentious thing I've ever seen, yes and I cut me teeth on 2nd ed World of Darkness. I'm impressed that he's managed to out-wank Numenera.

For the whole 5 minutes before someone posts it online that is

Ladies and gentlemen: the results of RPG piracy culture. Games made up of a bajillion fucking physical components, with special dice and cards and tokens and fucking resin monoliths and whatshit. The only reason this shittery exists is so that the games would be impossible to pirate (i.e. you can download the rulebooks but you still can't play the game).

You brought this on yourselves.

Well, Eldritch Knights in DnD 5e can do the whole

*teleports behind you*
*unsheathes blade*
"Psh, nothin personal, kid."

thing by using Arcane Charge.

>>48879164
But otherwise they're just incompetent.

>>48879164

Or you can play a 4e character who does that and doesn't suck balls.

(Teleporting isn't that rare of an effect)

>>48878613
Because that's be appropriation Anon, I've already reported you to tumblr.

>>48878613
Because they're not a particularly familiar feature of religion to a lot of people that write fantasy.

That said, now you've got me thinking about one of the few times I have seen prayer wheel-like devices - the History monks of the discworld had them

>>48878613

>>48878753
This

And also the fact that alot of typical fantasy is heavily European based and prayer-wheels are more of an eastern thing.

>>48878414
Because driving forward with group of baneblades with their melta's firing and vaporizing troops, vehicles and titans wouldn't be fun for tau.

For meltas that can be used with vehicles, it basically goes up to either Hellhound size, Predator size (in 30k), and then jumps up to Titan size.

You're better off using a Shadowsword, which has a giant lascannon. That has the anti-vehicle fuckery you want from a melta, but a lot more range and control.

>>48878414
Because no one will buy a 450+ point model which is almost guranteed to be whiped out turn two by a model/squad 1/5 the point value because the system hates anything with wheels or treads with a passion while giving bonuses to gundams rockem sockem robots.

>>48878314
Have you considered something like cripple damage? Like if you damage a part of the body it may effect performance, or too much fluff?

>>48878346
It is something I've thought about, but I'm not sure how much of a pain in the ass it would be to keep track of. It's definitely something I need to test out at some point though.

>>48878314
>Players don't want to bother with combat
>"Hey /tg/, how can I make combat even less interesting!"
Consider this - if your players aren't interested in engagements, you should simply limit the amount of combat in your scenarios and switch focus to what's interesting to your players, not just making fighting more obtuse.
Because they won't use it anyway.

Interesting

I don't really have much to give, but I'll give anything I can.

Q: What is Beyond the Pale?

A: Beyond the Pale is an independently developed and written tabletop RPG, intended to be released for free online when completed. The setting is a modern urban fantasy with elements of gothic horror and film noir, drawing inspiration from mythology and folklore from across the globe.

Q: What does the setting include?

A: The setting is based on the idea that humanity got glimpses of the truth but never the entire thing. Folklore, religion, mythology all had elements of truth but rarely saw things for what they truly are. Now, in the modern age, the supernatural world thrives, hidden from view. Elves and trolls live in cities, out of sight, vampires stalk alleyways and even worse things linger in the dark, on the edges of human perception.

Q: What does the title mean?

A: To go “beyond the pale” is an old term to cross over the barrier from lawful country to the wilds, where the king’s law no longer held sway. In this way “Beyond the Pale” references the fact that normal humans go beyond the realm of normalcy and the rules they once knew no longer apply.

Q: Why free?

A: Because this is a project being done out of love and to prove to myself that I can do game design. I don’t want to charge people when this is my first work, even if it is ambitious. I also hesitate to ask for money through crowdfunding because I have yet to produce something tangible. After release a crowdfunding option may be opened to fund expansions.

Q: Can I help?

A: At the moment the project is in dire need of artwork for the gamebooks. Please consult the “Artist Info” section for information.

ATTRIBUTES AND SKILLS
Attributes and skills determine a character’s physical and mental aptitudes and proficiency, differentiating them from other characters.

Advancement Points

Attributes and skills are advanced by Advancement Points (AP). Advancement points are usually rewarded after a character reaches a new level, allowing them to spend these points to improve their attributes and skills.

Occasionally, a GM may choose to reward players for quick thinking or engaging roleplaying with additional AP.

Players start their characters at level 1 with 90 AP to spend and gain 20 AP every level afterward.

Spending AP

A character does not need to spend all their AP immediately. They may choose to hold on to all or some of their AP for future investment.

AP can only be spent during an extended rest, such as sleep. If a character is not actively engaged in an extended rest they cannot spend AP.

Both attributes and skills increase in cost as they are improved. All characters start with rank 1 in each attribute.

There are even diceless systems

When John Harper's developing a game he starts with an idea for a core resolution mechanic, and anything else is decided by a coinflip.
If he finds there's a lot of coinflips, he builds a new subsystem to handle those. When the coinflips stop happening, the system is finished. This results in games with little or no rules bloat.

>>48877778
I have, and have a friend who prefers this style to any other type of game. It's annoying because he is utterly incapable of just understanding rules in a tabletop game.
